2. By this ordinance believers are admitted into the visible church, and entitled to all its privileges.
Acts 2 : 41, 42 : Then they that gladly received his word were baptized ; and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. And they continued stead- fastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. Gal. 3 : 27, 28. Rom. 6 : 3. Eph. 4 : 4, 5. . Matt. 28 : 18-20. John 3 : 5.
ARTICLE III .- Of the Lord's Supper.
1. The ordinance of the Lord's Supper is to be administered to none out of the visible church : unbaptized persons, disorderly members, or those censurable for heresy are not to be admitted.
1 Cor. 5 : 11; But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner ; with such an one no not to cat. Acts 2 : 42. John 3 : 5. 1 Cor. 6': 9, 10, and 10: 20,21. Tit. 3 : 10. 1 Cor. 11 : 2, 23-25. Matt. 28 : 19, 20. John 6 : 51, 53. 1 Cor. 10 : 16.
2. In this ordinance, by receiving bread and wine, consecrated by a regular minister of the gospel, we show our union and com- munion with Christ, and one with another.
Matt. 26 : 26-28 : And as they were cating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, take, cat, this is my body. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, drink ye all of it; For this is my blood of the new testament which is shed for many for the remission of sins. 1 Cor. 11 : 23-29; 10 : 16, 17. 2 Cor. 13 : 5. HIeb. 10 : 21-24.
ARTICLE IV .- Of Church Officers.
1. There are two officers in the church, viz : Bishops or El- ders, and Deacons, who are to serve the church in the functions attached to their offices.
2 Cor. 5 : 18, 20 ; And hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did bescech yon by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. Acts 6 : 2, 3, 4. 1 Tim. 31 ch. Phil. 1 : 1.
2. Ministers and deacons must be qualified according to serip- ture, approved by the church, and ordained by prayer and laying on hands of the presbytery.
Acts 13 : 3; And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away. Acts 6 : 6; Whom they set before the Apostles ; and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them. 1 Tim. 3 : 2, 8, and + : 14.
3. The minister's work is to preach the gospel, to gather and organize churches, administer ordinances, and rule and govern in the church of God as an under shepherd.
1 Tim. 5 : 17 ; Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially they who labor in the word and doctrine. 1 Cor. 3 : 5, 6, and 4 : 1. Acts 20 : 7, 11 ; 17: 1%. Heb. 13 : 7, 17. Eph. 4 : 11, 12. 1 Thes. 5 : 12, 13. 1 Pet. 5 : 2.
4. It is the duty of churches to afford to their ministers a rea-
14
sonable compensation for their labor, that they may devote them- selves to their work.
1 Tim. 5 : 18; For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the month of the ox that treadeth out the corn. and the laborer is worthy of his reward. Matt. 10: 10. Gal. 6: 5. 1 Cor. 9 : 7-14.
5. The deacon's work is to oversee the temporal încerns of the church, and in various other ways to assist the pastor in con- ducting the affairs of the church.
1 Tim. 3: 13; For they that have used the office of a decon well, purchase to them- selves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jusus. Aets 6: 2, 3,4.
ARTICLE V .- Of Divine Worship.
1. The worship of God should be attended devoutly and con- scientiously by all, secretly in the closet, privately in the family, and publicly in the House of God.
Hleb. 10: 25: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is ; but exhorting one another : and so much the more as ye see the day approaching. John 4 : 23. 24 : But the hour cometh and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth : for the Father sceketh such to worship him. God is a spirit, and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. 1 Tim. 2: 8. Matt. 6: 6. Eph. 6 : 18. Jer. 10: 25. Dan. 6: 10. Ps. 83: 2, and 116: 18, 19. Isa. 56 : 7. Zech. S: 21. Josh. 24 : 15.
2. In public worship the minister should lead or govern and exercise his gift as a public teacher.
Tim. 4: 2, Preach the word : be instant in season, out of season : reprove, rebuke. ex- hort, with all long-suffering and doctrine. 1 Pet. 5: 2, 3. Aets 2: 14. 2 Tim. 2: 25.
3. Every gift should be used for the mutual comfort and edifi- cation of the body.
1 Pet. 4 : 10; As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to an- other, as good stewards of the manfold grace of God. 1 Cor. 12th and 14th chapters.
ARTICLE VI .- Of Discipline.
1. Members walking disorderly, or holding doctrine contrary to the gospel, should be dealt with by way of discipline, accord- ing to the laws and order of Christ's house.
Rom. 16: 17; Now I beseech you brethren, mark them which cause divisions and of- fences, contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned ; and avoid them. 2 Thes. 3 : 15.
2. Personal injuries and private offences should be taken up by the individual who receives or knows them, and buried for- ever on private confession.
Matt. 18; 15, 16, 17 : Moreover, if thy brother, shall trepass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone : if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church : but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican. Luke 17: 4.
3. Public transgressors should be labored with by suitable brethren, according to gospel rule, and restored only on confes-
15
sion made sufficiently public to relieve the wound the cause of Christ may have sustained.
1 Tim. 5: 20 : Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 2. Cor. 2: 6: Sufficient to such 4 man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many. So that con- trariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such an one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow. Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toy 'rd him. Sec 1 Cor. 5th ch. Gal. 6: 1. James 5 : 16, 19, 20.
4. Though personal injuries are to be forgiven on suitable retraction, yet one indulging habits of scandalous immorality should not be restored without amendment.
1 Cor. 5 : 11 : But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother, be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner ; with such an one no not to eat. 1 Thes. 3: 6. Prov. 28: 13. Eph 5:5.
5. Those who openly deny the gospel, or maintain heresy, should be admonished by letter or otherwise, and rejected if due admonition prove ineffectual.
Tit. 3 : 10, 11 : A man that is a heretic, after the first and second admonition reject : knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself. 2 John 10, 11 ; If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not in- to your house, neither bid him God speed ; for he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds. 1 Tim. 1: 20. 1 Cor. 11: 16.
6. A member under labor by the church, should be suspended from communion until his case be decided.
7. A member refusing to submit to the judgment of the church becomes criminal and should be dealt with accordingly.
Matt. 18: 17, 15 ; But if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as a heathen man and a publican. Verily I sty unto you, whatsoever ye shall bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven ; an I whatsoever ye shall loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven.

CHURCH COVENANT.
As we trust we have been brought by divine grace to embrace the Lord Jesus Christ, and by the influence of His Spirit to give ourselves up to Him, so we do now solemnly convenant with each other, that, God enabling us, we will walk together in brotherly love; that we will exercise a Christian care and watchfulness over each other, and faithfully warn, rebuke, and admonish one another, as the case shall require; that we will not forsake the assembling of ourselves together, nor omit the great duty of prayer, both for ourselves and for others ; that we will partici- pate in each other's joys, and endeavor, with tenderness and sympathy, to bear each other's burdens and sorrows: that we will earnestly endeavor to bring up such as may be under our care in the nurture and admonition of the Lord; that we will seek Divine aid to enable us to walk circumspectly and watch- fully in the world, denying ungodliness and every worldly lust ; that we will strive together for the support of a faithful evangeli- cal ministry among us ; that we will endeavor, by example and effort, to win souls to Christ ; and through life, amidst evil report and good report, seek to live to the glory of Him who hath called us out of darkness into his marvellous light.

Complaints of public or private offences of members not other- wise settled, shall in the first place be preferred before this com- mittee, which shall promptly and carefully be investigated by them and if possible brought to a happy issue, either by private or public measures as the case may require. They shall also introduce verbally or in writing all such cases of discipline, and such other business, as in their judgment ought to be acted upon by the church.
